"Under coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, Franklin-Myers could be used as a versatile defender, playing as a nose or 5-technique in the base fronts while providing an interior rush out of sub-package personnel. He had 7.5 sacks and 23 pressures with the Broncos last season. Myers spent 2021-2023 with Ulbrich in New York before joining the Broncos in 2024, and has had a quality career."
"The 288 pound defensive lineman is fresh off back-to-back seven sack seasons and posted five sack seasons twice with Ulbrich as his defensive coordinator. The Falcons could use more veteran talent along a young, talented front, and Franklin-Myers makes a ton of sense heading into his age 30 season. Franklin-Myers is coming off a season where he was penalized seven times, but that's a significant outlier in his career."
John Franklin-Myers is a 288-pound defensive lineman who can play nose or 5-technique and provide interior pass-rush in sub-package personnel. He produced 7.5 sacks and 23 pressures with Denver last season and logged back-to-back seven-sack years. He spent 2021–2023 with Jeff Ulbrich in New York before joining the Broncos in 2024. Penalties spiked to seven this season, an outlier in his career, and his missed-tackle rate has been relatively high, but his pass-rush ability and run-power compensate. Adding him would provide veteran depth alongside Ruke Orhorhorho, Brandon Dorlus, Zach Harrison, and LaCale London.
